Red Sea Crossing Bible Door Hanger
A printable Bible door hanger based on Red Sea Crossing. Children colour and cut the design, then hang it on a door as a reminder of the lesson. Story focus: Moses leads God’s people out of Egypt. The sea blocks their way, and the people are afraid. The people cross safely on dry land.

Getting ready
Age & adult help
The outside shape and door-handle opening need more controlled cutting than a straight bookmark.
Prepare the door-handle opening and help with curved edges. Younger children can colour an adult-prepared hanger.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper or light card, colouring pencils or crayons, scissors. An adult may need to cut the handle opening.
Time & preparation
One door hanger, including colouring and cutting. Teaching time is additional.
Age is an editorial estimate for the motor and reading demands of this format. Difficulty, completion time and suggested tools are planning estimates, not build-tested.
Check the file before you print for a group, and allow for any extra help the kids might need.
Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Exodus 14:5–31
The Israelites are trapped between the sea and Pharaoh’s army. God makes a path through the sea, and Moses leads the people to safety; afterwards they recognise the deliverance they have received.
Main takeaway: The sea crossing marks the Israelites’ escape from slavery.
Before you hang it up
Read the words on the hanger and connect the design with the passage before choosing a place for it.
Compare the people’s fear before the crossing with their response afterwards. Follow the path from the shore, through the sea and onto dry land.
Younger learners can explain the pictured event in their own words. Older learners can choose one idea from the reading to remember when they see the hanger again.
Questions to explore
- Why were the people afraid?
- How did they reach the other side?

Common questions
What files are included in this download?
The download contains 2 PDFs with 2 pages in total: Instructions-DoorHandleStory.pdf (1 page); CrossingtheRedSea_Exodus14_15.pdf (1 page). This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.
How do I make the door hanger?
Colour the illustrated hanger, cut around its outline and prepare the handle opening. Use the finished sign to retell the pictured account before hanging it on a suitable door handle. For a Bible reading to accompany this activity, use Exodus 14:5–31.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 portrait. Instructions-DoorHandleStory.pdf: keep as a shared assembly guide. CrossingtheRedSea_Exodus14_15.pdf: print the page for each learner or group. Print single-sided. On US Letter paper, select Letter and Fit or shrink to the printable area; the originals are not separate Letter-sized files.
What supplies and preparation does this need?
Paper or printer-compatible light card, colouring pencils and scissors. An adult should help with the handle opening and tight curves. The hanger is a printable cut-out, not a supplied physical door sign.
What help might children need with this activity?
Suggested ages: 6–10 years. Prepare the door-handle opening and help with curved edges. Younger children can colour an adult-prepared hanger. Adjust this guide for the child’s reading and making skills.
